No Steam Makes Sense to Me

I just rode the train 9/1-9/2. The small steam engine was in front of a diesel which ain't that impressive, and once it left the depot, the line is so straight you couldn't tell what was pulling you, and no one sees the train out in the boonies where it runs. I kept thinking, what a waste of money for the company. Apparently Phil felt the same way.

The first class ride was nice. The coach ride the seats were like an airliner seat with no backs. Very uncomfortable.

I guess I rode the last steam run north as they said the steamer was off for the season (forever apparently). I think it's a good business move, as most people were there to ride the train. On the C&T or D&S a very different story.
